Industry · Building Materials
Heavy goods. Heavier credit. Handled.
Building materials is a credit business wearing a trading badge: contractors buy on terms, collect from counters, and expect site delivery by noon. SynTrack runs this pattern — counter sales, credit control and site delivery working as one system.
SynTrack for building materials joins the trade counter, credit control, site delivery with proof, and heavy-SKU inventory to VAT-ready finance — one database from yard to site to statement.
Reality → Answer
Where materials businesses bleed.
Contractor credit drift
Projects stretch, payments stretch further; exposure grows invoice by invoice.
"It never arrived"
Site deliveries disputed weeks later — no signature, no defence.
Counter chaos at peak
Morning rush at the counter: wrong prices, missed credit checks, queues lost.
Yard stock fiction
Heavy SKUs counted rarely, moved roughly, reconciled never.
Project pricing leaks
Special project rates quoted once, applied inconsistently forever.
Site returns limbo
Excess material comes back damaged, undocumented, revalued by argument.
Questions
Building materials — FAQs.
Can it handle both counter walk-ins and project accounts?
Yes — the same counter serves cash walk-ins and credit contractors, with project-specific price lists and credit rules applied automatically by account.
How does the counter handle credit contractors?
The moment an account customer is selected, their limit, balance and overdue status appear — and your rules block or escalate risky sales before the goods leave.
Can site deliveries be proven?
Every site drop carries proof of delivery — receiver name and signature captured at handover — attached to the invoice. The "never arrived" call ends with a document.
How are project prices managed?
Project-specific price lists with validity dates apply automatically when that project buys — consistently, at the counter and on delivered orders alike.
Does it manage post-dated cheques?
Yes — PDC registers with maturity calendars are native, because in materials trading the cheque drawer is half the balance sheet.
